Willem and Leta's Blog: April 2010

http://buscagne.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Willem and Leta's Blog. We've been meaning to visit Tunnel Beach for a long time and finally got there on Easter Sunday. Tunnel Beach is situated on the southern coast on the edge of Dunedin, in fact, just opposite the Green Island village, between St Clair and Blackhead. From the car park it is a 20 minute stroll down to the beach, but coming back the climb up the hill is very steep and takes around 40 minutes. However, it was well worth the effort and we enjoyed the outing very much.

Willem and Leta's Blog: April 2011

Willem and Leta's Blog. Sunny day in the garden. I believe this is the last weekend of summer - the weatherman says winter arrives on Monday! So I had to make the best of it. Look at the overgrown side-walk. It happened once before that we were notified by the City Council that we should keep the sidewalk clear for pedestrians, so I quickly got out the hedge trimmer and jumped in. An here is the result. And the last of the summer flowers. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Sunny day in the garden.

Willem and Leta's Blog: July 2011

http://buscagne.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Willem and Leta's Blog. Winter was late, but when it finally arrived, it was spectacular! The snow arrived on Sunday 24 July and we were warned, so grocery shopping was done on Saturday. Willem stacking wood on Sunday while the snow sifts down gently. On Saturday morning we had a load of chopped wood delivered - just in time for the frosty weather! Nobody complained of the cold, all were having fun, and strangers started chatting and telling of the wonderful time they are having! Goose Tree Web Design.

Willem and Leta's Blog. There's not really a story to this post, but it is an opportunity to show off cute grandson Mika to the rellies. He is all of 9 months old now and happily sitting up and has, I believe, one tooth! These pictures were taken on a lovely sunny afternoon in Wellington when Jacques, Hester and Mika visited Harriet and Alexis for a barbeque. For those who need to know, Harriet is Hester's sister.

Willem and Leta's Blog. Hedgehogs in the garden. I haven't been weeding the garden like I should have, so now we have a cute hedgehog pair living there. They sleep curled up and half-hidden under the foliage most of the day and at the end of the day you sometimes see them foraging on the lawn, digging up worms, insects and the like.

Willem and Leta's Blog: Super-charged banana loaf

http://buscagne.blogspot.com/2014/02/super-charged-banana-loaf.html

Willem and Leta's Blog. I made up this recipe when my young son refused to eat a wide range of foods, so this banana loaf is loaded with eggs and other hopefully healthy goodies. The recipe makes three small loaves. 180 g butter or margarine (Flora or the like). 7 to 9 ripe bananas, mashed. 4 cups self-raising flour. 1 tsp ground cinnamon. 1 tsp ground nutmeg. 1 cup sultanas, rinsed in warm water and drained. 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts are good).

Willem and Leta's Blog. Here's another of those baby milestones - standing up against the furniture. Well now, with both parents being computer programmers, what can one expect but an intense interest in programming tomes like 'Perl' and 'C'? And is this not just the most adorable photo of mum Hester and son Mika? The adjacent oak grove was planted in commemoration of the Diamond Jubilee of H.M. Queen Victoria 1897. Thro' the coming years we trust. When we are [.] in the dust. Today we climbed the 500 me...

Willem and Leta's Blog. The Christchurch Cathedral before and after the quake. The devastating earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand on Tuesday 22 February will bring us many stories of heroic rescues and horrendous loss, injury and many deaths. I found the following account, written on 25 February, of one person's experience of the quake very thought-provoking. I'm not printing her name, to protect her privacy:. I am grateful now for food, for hot drinks, for water, for shelter, for friends. You can i...

Willem and Leta's Blog: November 2006

http://buscagne.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html

Willem and Leta's Blog. On Wednesday we stayed at home and spent the time resting and catching up on essentials like doing the laundry and quietly reading a book or sending emails to friends and family. On Thursday 30 November 2006 Ronel had to take care of other duties, so Pierre took us to visit Zürich, a short train trip from Oberägeri. From the station it was but a short walk to the old part of the city, called Aldt Stadt in German. His early experiments in education ran into difficulties but he pers...
